My two bottom connecters holding the face of my pc case have screws in them. Problem is that I can't fit a screw driver in the gaps to remove the screws! Any tips?
This depends on the model of system. Some systems have a lever/latch to pull to release the cover. Many Dell and HP models use latches to open the covers (no tools required to open the system). Some systems need a screwdriver to remove the screws. Some are Phillips screws, others may be Torx.
